Sedum morganianum (commonly called burro's tail or donkey tail) is a succulent plant which is native to southern Mexico and Honduras. It produces long trailing stems up to 30 cm long with fleshy blue-green leaves and produces terminal, pink to red flowers.

Cultivation

The species is a popular houseplant and is primarily grown for the foliage; flowers are produced infrequently. Plants are best grown in full sunlight for strong growth and to enhance leaf colouration. The species is susceptible to over-watering, especially during winter dormancy.

Plants are usually propagated by stem cuttings, these being prepared by removing the leaves from the lower half of the stem and waiting for the cut end to dry over one or two days before potting in cactus soil mix. Leaf cuttings may also be used. Rooting usually occurs after a few days.

Common Name: Burrito
